Haha, seriously. If I'd bought a disc based game and had to make an account to play it I would probably just take it back and get a refund.
Unfortunately online you don't get that option, but I would be seriously pissed.
My laptop can't handle any modern games since this kind of bullshit started, hopefully when I get an upgrade and start buying games from the last few years this stuff will have blown over or there will be a way around it... If not I will just have to check games before I buy them, and I sure as hell won't be buying any that force me to make an account.
Hell it even annoys me when Steam has to sync the damn game after I play it so I have to wait like a minute to shut down. Dunno what it is actually synching but the only aspect I am interested in is my play-time, and I'm pretty sure that could be recorded offline if Steam wanted to do it that way (though my play-times still get screwed up when the games crash)
